Then you can access files on the Mac disk just like you would with a Windows formatted disk. greetz What he said ... FAT 32 is cool n al...

This studio has a pretty impressive reputation in the electronic community for having a pretty distinctive sound. On records such as 'phylips trax' or the 'burial mix' series, how much of the ...

repitch is great for DJing so long as you are not trying to beatmatch a huge range of BPM's ... only repitches your sound (it sounds exactly like a technics turntable) and doesn't introduce artifacts
